Jazz Exercise No.2 Oscar Peterson

[Brokennkeys]

fairly decent job ! I was going to learn this one but instead chose Chanson Triste for my gr.8 rcm, well done though !

[ONLYUSEmeWii]

A little bit fast.

[jhamblin23]

dont forget any eighth notes are played stacatto and especially the last notes before the triplets. its too flowy. everything else is good though :) more movement though lol

[13Moondancer]

Thanks Makes me smile When i hear it played. I am learning this but struggling with the rhythm in the run section You help a lot. Well done.

[inkystinky123]

I don't really hear jazz. O.o

[1993Slevin]

emm

in this ex. straith rythm... not punktir

just in a few moments

[keithedwards1966]

really great - every note means something - others may play faster but yours is the most enjoyable - very well done

tx

[koolkat104]

Great job! I'm learning this now. With the runs in the middle, on my sheet music, it says to play every second bar with your left hand. It makes the runs easier. =)

[babiistaah]

at 0:33 those first two notes played with your right hand, should be played with your left. they probably made it like that for convenience of smaller hands, but if your comfortable with it, then thats fine. :) just incase it makes it easier. great playing!

[peev2]

where can i find the score?

[MrPhibbz]

Your tripplets are way off, man.

[mmcrosbie]

@MrPhibbz Not so. 

[yurikes]

i want the music sheet please...

[yurikes]

hey... love this.. where i can get the music sheet?? pleeassee help me.. really want to learn this one..

[cclaudi52]

I CAN'T PLAY IT LIKE YOU!! ITS TOO DIFICULT FOR ME!! =S can you make a video teaching how to learn it ?

thnx!!

[Gord185]

i can play just as good as you and im only in the 5th grade.. maybe its me

[lukefenderrhodes]

@Gord185 liar

[Gord185]

@lukefenderrhodes No its true -_-

[lukefenderrhodes]

@Gord185  sorry i didnt mean to call you a liar

[64ftContraBombarde]

@johnnynoirman What?

[Hellfire257]

Can anyone give me some tips for Bars 17 to 22? Its getting the figers smooth thats the problem for me. If anyone can suggest an alternative finger pattern to me that would be much appreciated!

Thanks,

[Destr0yer58]

some of those mistakes actually made the song sound kinda better.... but that's just me :p

[LiTTlEKuAiKiA]

i think its better if its more legato :)

good job anyway ^^

[caitlink60]

bar nine is a nuisance.

[Mimieeeeeeee]

runs i think need to be faster :P otherwise you've the mood captured nicely

[yukikohohoho]

hi can someone help me on the fingering on the thirds on bar 9? i can't do it fast enough and it would be a great help!!

[wolffrankenstein]

@yukikohohoho What I do is use 1 & 2 for the first third, and, using the sliding down technique that's often employed in blues grace notes, use 1 & 2 for the second third also. Then move the thumb over and use 1 & 3 for the third third, and 2 & 4 for the fourth. Now, for the third on the first beat of bar 10, you can use the sliding technique again, but, as this forces a rather annoying stretch from 4 to 5 for the next note, I find jumping to 1 & 3 easier.

[josiah566]

scale knowledge helps a lot. Dunno if this is late or not, and sorry if it is. =P

[XxBellarosiexX]

oh shit. youre playin it wrong. do you see ANY dotted notes? i dont think so.. ha

[bkgangstapianist]

@XxBellarosiexX

see one thing I never understood is how swinging 8ths are the only 8ths you are supposed to play in jazz. It annoys me so much. You can still swing with straight 8ths. anyway I agree with this person somewhat. I try to play whats written in this case, play straiught 8ths where marked, and swing them where they are dotted.

if u play it real fast the 8ths have a 16th feel and it moves real well.

[nikki9685]

idiot there playing it right. If you look above the sheet music it says 2 quavers should be played as 2 triplets and its meana be in swing style so dotted notes arnt even needed.

[ravingmadhamster]

haha, you're a complete idiot - clearly you didn't notice 'ANY' instruction to swing 2 quavers as triplets! good effort, '.. ha'

[RCsST0RE]

nice but try to work on the second part

[MrMaxiyo]

Wow. Doing Grade 6 also O.o. Doing A3 B1 and this. lol

[josiah566]

i did a3 before switching to a1. XD

otherwise i'm doing B1 and this.

[izzyedd]

Wow, same here! I was indecisive about A1 or A3 haha :D

[rozepoze2000]

[Doumbeck]

NICE .. you got it to swing..NOW try it with NO pedal!!! :)

[tiffanymsw]

[Welfareofhorizon]

[kyokofull]

thx for all the comments n critics, i realy aprreciated guys!

[BenGabbay]

Nice job! Played very well. And aon't worry about your mistakes--they're barely noticable, and you covered them up nicely.

[Zoeeeep]

samme, im doing this for grade 6.

good job, im no where near that yet :D

[deathjordan]

I'm doing this more my grade 6 and i'm only 12, also doing A:1 and B:2

[morozovirtuoz]

Very bad. Only Russian virtuozo play very good. Look how I play.

[otakurocklee]

Which book is this exercise in? Thanks.

[BenGabbay]

Well, it's in the RCM (Royal Conservatory of Music) grade 8 rep. book...that's where I learned it from, at least.

[otakurocklee]

Thanks.

[HR18yrs]

Lovely playing but I am wondering if the pianists on YouTube will lose marks in their exam for playing the quavers between the triplets unevenly (apart from the bars where they are written as dotted quavers and semi-quavers). Is the distinction between the two different ways it is written being brought out sufficiently? Anyone else care to comment on this?

[Legiondaire]

that's what i was thinking..

[mshyper12]

I got to do this for grade 6 exam! It's hard D:

[tiffanymsw]

i'm doing this for grade six this year too :)

[Stephanieg5]

I'm doing this one for my grade six too! seems like alot are lol It's a great piece but seems a bit dull compared with the others for this grade. x

[jessrules05]

I'm learning this one for grade 6 too, I've just managed to get it to the right time and I love playing, probably my favourite one out of my pieces

[chaiondamelon]

OMG i'm doing this song 4 my grade 6 exam

13 years old go me!!! And you

[heavenlymeg94]

Slow it down, and practice more to make sure you have the right notes. I'm playing this for my Grade 6, god help me!

[sportychick302]

wow...

thats fast...and a LOT better than me.

i just started. :(

[ohime28]

wow. you are good! anyone know the link to dl te mp3 for this song?

[Flamex51474]

U should play it a bit slower

lolz MISTAKES!!! lolz

[NarusegawaMo11]

Pretty good but u should try to play it slower though, then u won't make mistakes!! :)

[rororoiroro]

i just started to learn this one. you're really good

[kyokofull]

thx a lot^^ but still there's mistakes in the vid,hope u can do better than me.good luck!

[mayurificationify]

@kyokofull HI just dropped by. Very good I am learning this for my gr. 8 rcm. Obviously you can increase the speed but otherwise it was pretty clean. Here's a pointer from my teacher: This song has no dynamics so according to the scenario you should add your own dynamics. for example you can accent the chord AT 0:10 it will create more of an impact! Anyways good job :)

[kpoplady]

pretty ! : D
